Trend Micro Smart
               Feedback provides continuous communication between Trend Micro products and
               its 24/7 threat research centers and technologies. Each new threat
               identified through every single customer's routine reputation check
               automatically updates all Trend Micro threat
               databases, blocking any subsequent customer encounters of a given
               threat. 
            
            By continuously processing the threat intelligence gathered through
               its extensive global network of customers and partners, Trend Micro delivers automatic,
               real-time protection against the latest threats and provides "better together"
               security, much like an automated neighborhood watch that involves the
               community in the protection of others. Because the gathered threat
               information is based on the reputation of the communication source,
               not on the content of the specific communication, the privacy of
               a customer's personal or business information is always protected.

                           You do not need to participate in Smart Feedback
                              to protect your computers. Your participation is optional and you
                              may opt out at any time. Trend Micro recommends
                              that you participate in Smart Feedback to help provide better overall protection
                              for all Trend Micro customers.
